Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lee was in the library all curled up in the corner near one of the bookshelves. He was studying for his Wandlore exams, which he was only just barely confident in. He flipped a page, clicking his tongue while twiddling his wand in hand. His own was Holly, at least according to the book. He'd long forgotten what his wand was made of, but either way, he knew it worked for him. He took a moment's pause, rubbing his eyes while yawning. His world seemed so crazy lately, but hopefully he'd be able to sleep soundly enough to forget his thoughts for a while...... Not that it mattered too much, he couldn't remember them anyway.

Lee looked back at his book, adjusting his glasses to make sure he could see straight. Maybe he'd just been reading for too long, or perhaps he was getting tired. What time was it anyway? He looked down at his wrist, frowning when he saw his watch was missing... Damn it! He closed his book, leaning his head back against the heavy wooden shelves.

Lee leaned forward a bit, focusing on his book once again. Just as he was about to turn the page, a voice called his name. The blonde jumped, looking startled as he looked up at Ollie. With a sweater-covered hand clutching at his heart, Lee took a few deep breaths. "H-holy ********, Ollie. Y-you gave m-me a fr-fright!" He sent a shaky grin over toward his friend, pushing up his glasses yet again. "I'm re-reading my wandl-lore book. It-it's an int-terest-t-ting class." He scooched over a bit, patting the floor beside him. He'd brought a few pillows from his room to sit on, and hopefully he wouldn't be asked to move to a real chair.... like a chump. "H-how are you? Y-you look t-tired."

Lee chuckled softly when Ollie said he was supposed to be quiet. He put his bookmark (which was secretly just a piece of paper from his note book) into his textbook, then set it aside. Ollie was rooting through his pocket, then he offered over a watch. When he asked about losing it, Lee looked at his own watch, then back up at his friend with a blush. "Y-yes, th-thanks. I re-really don't kn-know how I l-lost the ******** thing thi-this time." He chuckled softly, wrapping the watch around his wrist once more. Maybe now he'd be able to get places on time again.

After pointing out his obvious exhaustion, Ollie questioned it, perhaps thinking it wouldn't be terribly visible. Unfortunately, he mentioned having terrible dreams. He even asked about finding a book to help. Lee frowned a bit, then pat his friend on the back. "W-well, maybe we-we can fi-figure someth-thing out. And i-if not, we c-can ask f-for help." He shrugged, frowning slightly. The blonde fluffed his hair, pondering what to do in this situation. He didn't remember a time when he'd had dreams so bad he never slept. "O-or, we c-can l-look into sl-sleep po-potions? Th-they mi-mmmmm might help f-for now." He looked over, hoping he could make his friend feel better, if nothing else.

Lee nodded at Ollie's suggestion of trying to solve the problem first. It made sense, since he rarely wanted to go off and request help from adults. "O-okay. We can s-search. May-maybe we'll find somth-thing help-pful." He nodded a bit, then carefully pushed himself to his feet. The blonde was a bit wobbly (well, more than usual) since his legs had gone a bit numb from being all curled up on the floor. "Okay. W-well... we could look... um... Div-divinations? O-or healing? I-I don't know..." He tapped his chin, leaning against the wall he'd just been curled into.

After his mention of sleeping potions was shot down, a vague memory swirled up in Lee's head, but he couldn't really guess at the origin. It seemed like something from a dream, or perhaps a past life. "Th-there's a Dr-d-dream-mmm-dreamless sleep potion. I-it's pro-probably hard to m-make, though." He felt bad, not really knowing how to help his friend. And poor Ollie really looked like he needed all the help he could get. Maybe Lee could ask Kendall? The other boy was probably around there somewhere...

Lee shrugged when Ollie added that he wasn't in healing either. Darn. "I-I can start, s-sure. I d-don't know much ab-about healing, b-but I can t-try." He wandered over to the healing section, grabbing a couple books that might be useful. On his way back, the boy tripped, spilling the books all over the floor along with himself. "s**t. Ow, ******** dammit." The blonde pushed himself up, adjusting his glasses and sighing. He gathered the books back into a pile, looking over the titles. Why did he have healing books? He shook his head, trying to circle thoughts back around. Oh! Ollie! He picked up the books and shuffled back toward the nest he usually sat in. Sure enough, Ollie was already there. Perfect. "S-sorry it t-took so long."

The two spent... forever studying, with Lee taking notes pretty consistently. After a moment, he yawned, looking over to notice Ollie seemed to have drifted off. He blinked when Ollie started reacting poorly, like he was in the midst of a terrible dream. Lee reached over, gently shaking Ollie's arm. "O-Ollie? W-wake up, okay?" He shook a bit harder, frowning nervously.
